A moment of C++ hate

Apologies, I'm going to indulge myself for a moment. If you aren't interested in C++ ranting, skip this.

I'm in the process of converting some C++ code to heap allocate objects instead of putting them in the stack, because I need to use them in Objective-C++ and stack-allocated objects aren't the best idea there.

Who in their right mind wants to spend programming time worrying about where to allocate objects? Why do I have to care? There's an actual problem domain here with business objects, and I'm twiddling object allocation. I feel like bashing my head against the keyboard.
